Yes, so was this ex-pat Canadian.....
Londoners 'outraged' after neighbour clears snow from his whole street - MyLondon"I got nostalgic as a Canadian living in London this morning, so I shovelled the walk and neighbours walks down to the corner. I felt strangely compelled to do this, it’s like a certain amount of snow activates some kind of friendly Mountie gene that Canadians possess. I’m normally no kinder than the average east Londoner."
Apparently so....

...it is a myth that they can be sued for clearing snow from outside the home when someone subsequently slips and hurts themselves.
If all you’ve done is pour hot water on the ground, which, in this weather, will simply freeze into a sheet of ice, you may be liable.
But any attempt at using common sense to clear snow or ice should not leave you exposed to a claim – especially when you are a private individual trying to do a good deed for your community.
